I struggle
Watching you struggle

My desire for you
To be healthy and vibrant
Is at odds with the reality
Of your bodies response to
This life

My work is often
Focused on
Acceptance of reality
Adjusting to the
Discomfort of
Dissonance

I really enjoy those
Moments
Where I am
Adjusted
And my desire shifts to
An intention to be
A kind companion
